ACX Auditions – Audiobook First-timer

[image error]

I finally jumped on the audiobook wagon. 

As an indie author and publisher there are always many things to do, many things to learn and consider. Do I write more books? Do I spend my time marketing? Do learn about Facebook ads… Like anyone else, I am subject to run down a lot of rabbit holes. I’ll lay it on the line: I’m not very consistent. I don’t always follow through. I burn myself out.

But then the New Year starts and it’s a fresh beginning; I vow to do better. For various reasons I decided now was the time to get going on an audiobook for the first book in my series, Treasure.

The following is my two cents on one part of the process of making an audiobook with ACX –the auditions. There are plenty of step-by-step blog posts on the entire process. And even though I thought I had read them all and was ready to go, once I started the ACX ball rolling I felt like I wasn’t prepared enough. I found the ACX website not at all intuitive and lacking in many of the areas for which I had questions. I probably should have just phoned somebody, but I didn’t. I tried to find my answers online. 

I’ll share my experience, and maybe it will help someone else on the journey. If nothing else, a good rant.
